I am not sure I follow you. We have the largest economy in the world by a large margin. There is nothing really to take for granted - the US economy is the very reason Brazil, China and India are going to be GIANT economies. We do not thwart growth in the global economy, we spend our time promoting it.
While Rome burns?? LOL. How is it burning? We live in the most peaceful time in the history of the world. People living on a $1 a day was 40% of the worlds population in 1990. In 2008 that figure is 18%. We live in a world right now that is safer than
anytime in history -
EVER.
Rome burns, huh? Breakdown in what 'social fabric?'
As I said we live in the most peaceful time in the history of the World. Period.
